Issue/Introduction

Your disk/partition is at 80+ % full and you don't want it to fill up

Resolution

Here is an _example_ of how to do the procedure.  Note the files and or locations may be different.

[check what file systems are different than / ]

[[email protected] logs]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2              20G   16G  3.6G  82% /
tmpfs                 1.9G  4.0K  1.9G   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1              97M   32M   61M  34% /boot
/dev/sda9              12G  2.4G  8.9G  22% /dbsesa
/dev/sda10             50G  976M   49G   2% /eventarchive
/dev/sda11             13G  201M   13G   2% /eventdata
